Have Shaun sit on the floor with Sherman to his right side, verbalize the sit command and gently push on his little butt (Sherman's not Shaun's). You'll be surprised how quickly they learn. After he get's it, he can go on to the down command.....Don't attempt to do any lead training for a bit. Just make sure everything you attempt with him is a game and fun. |
Thanks Mary and no Sherman is not being shown. Shaun is excited to start training and bonding with Sherman. He wants Sherman to be his boy like Bella Mia is my girl.
